Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed facilitating the application of forces and measurement of dimensions of a test subject (30). In one arrangement the test subject is coupled to a forcing frame (38) and controlled forces applied thereto by a series of guideways (12,14,16) and sliders (18). The sliders, which contact the test subject are in force transmitting relation to a forcing frame. Tension, compression and bending forces can be applied to the test subject. Force applied to the test subject is measured and controlled. A dimensional characteristic of the test subject, such as growth, is measured by a linear variable differential transformer. The growth measurement data can be used to control the force applied. Substantially uniaxial stretching is achieved in an alternative embodiment by placing the test subject on an elastic membrane stretched by an arrangement of members securing the elastic member to the forcing frame.

Abstract: A process for the catalytic distillation production of alkylated aromatic compounds is provided wherein the vapor pressure of the olefin may be increased while maintaining the same olefin feed rate and aromatic to olefin ratio. In one embodiment a side stream from the vapor from the second column below the catalyst and olefin feed is condensed and rerouted to the aromatic make up stream from the reflux drum. The vapor pressure of the olefin in the lower end of the first column in the catalyst bed is thus increased which increases the equilibrium concentration of the olefin in the liquid phase. In another embodiment of the invention the effective driving force for the reaction is increased by injecting the olefin at different heights within the catalyst bed. If additional olefin is injected more catalyst bed height would be required, but the additional catalyst is more that offset by the increased throughput at the same overall olefin conversion. The practice of injecting the olefin feed at different heights is especially useful when the same olefin feed rate is used but split among the several streams because less catalyst is required.

Abstract: A tool in the form of a drill 20 is rotated by a motor 18 and advanced by a motor 8 acting through a lead screw 4. A transducer 30 monitors the feed force applied to the drill 20, and the current drawn by the motor 18, which corresponds to the torque applied to the drill 20, is also monitored. It has been found that the feed force decreases, and the torque increases, shortly before the drill 20 breaks through a workpiece, and so control means 56 responsive to feed force and torque can be adapted to arrest the feed movement shortly before breakthrough. This facility is particularly useful in surgical procedures.

Abstract: A data source on a main local area network (LAN) transmits broadcast messages via bridges to remote stations. A ring buffer in a bridge (14) on the main LAN buffers a selected number of packets received from the data source. When the main bridge (14) on the main LAN receives a "Lost Frame Message" from a remote bridge (16), not on the main LAN, the main bridge (14) backs up to the address of the lost packet in the ring buffers, and retransmits the lost packet and then continues sequential transmission of subsequent packets. If buffer get filled above a pre-set criteria, retransmission is slowed or stopped until buffer is mostly emptied.

Abstract: The optical distance detector comprises a light-emitting diode 14, 16, 31 and a pair of photodiodes 15, 17, 30 which detect the amount or light incident thereon after being reflected at a surface of an object the distance to which is measured. The geometric parameters of the photodiodes are selected in such a manner that the output of a first photodiode decreases as the measured distance increases while the output of a second photodiode increases as the measured distance increases. Thus, the normalized differential output of the two photodiodes, from which the measured distance is determined, varies substantially linearly with respect to the measured distance. In preferred forms, the photodetectors have stepped concentric configurations so that small distances can be measured accurately and efficiently.

Abstract: Operation time of a receiving section in a pager is reduced by interrupting the power supply to the receiving section upon reception of the signal having a transmission rate other than the pager self-transmission rate, or when only a noise signal is received. A timer section, counts the time elapsed since a control section started the power supply to the receiver section. A transmission rate detector section is operated when a predetermined time has elapsed. The power supply to the receiver section is interrupted when the transmission rate detector section judges that the transmission rate of the received signal is not a self-transmission rate, to reduce the power supply time of a battery.
